Il Quarto Padre Della Dodecafonia
Mario Ruffini, Il quarto padre della dodecafonia, in: «Caffè Michelangiolo», Rivista di discussione e cultura, Accademia degli Incamminati, IX, 2 (maggio- agosto 2004), Firenze, Pagliai Polistampa, 2004, Copertina, Frontespizio, Retrofrontespizio, pp. 4-12 In occasione del primo centenario della nascita di Luigi Dallapiccola (1904-2004), Caffè Michelangiolo ha chiesto a Mario Ruffini uno scritto commemorativo sul compositore e un bilancio delle celebrazioni Nel primo centenario della nascita di Luigi Dallapiccola (1904-2004) uno scritto commemorativo e alcune considerazioni IL QUARTO PADRE DELLA DODECAFONIA di Mario Ruffini Quando in tutto il mondo un personaggio viene ricordato in occasione del centenario della nascita, vuol dire che la sua opera è ormai un valore riconosciuto e condiviso della coscienza collettiva. Questo è il dato forse più rilevante delle celebrazioni dedicate alla figura di Luigi Dallapiccola. È utile pertanto ricordare le opere più significative del grande compositore e sottolineare gli aspetti peculiari del suo dettato etico e estetico. Due sono i capolavori che maggiormente caratterizzano Luigi Dallapiccola: la Trilogia, che percorre il primo periodo come una biografia (Canti di prigionia; Il Prigioniero; Canti di liberazione) e l’Ulisse che segna l’arrivo di tutto il percorso. Negli scritti giovanili Dallapiccola ricorda il periodo di internamento a Graz, quando l’assidua frequentazione del Teatro dell’Opera lo portò a una profonda conoscenza delle opere di Richard Wagner, di cui il quattordicenne istriano dichiara -

In Ricordo Di LUIGI DALLAPICCOLA
In ricordo di LUIGI DALLAPICCOLA Numero speciale del « Notiziario " delle Edizioni Suvini Zerboni - Milano Spedizione in abbonamento postale - gruppo IV In ricordo di LUIGI DALLAPICCOLA EDIZIONI SUVINI ZERBONI - MILANO Si sa che ai tempi della giovinezza di Dallapiccola, nei vasti strati incolti del conformismo musicale italiano (e conservatoriale in ispecie), intellet tualismo - anzi cerebralismo - valeva come corollario di cultura, come etichetta-marchio, come l'« uncino » da appendervi il non-conformista. Che poi un Dallapiccola, colto-intellettualista-cerebrale, abbia in parte assunto quell'uncino e Io abbia rivoltato in arma rispondeva al gioco. Ora il Maestro, che pure non ha fatto a tempo a conoscere la vera vec chiaia, è vissuto abbastanza da vedere cancellarsi quell'etichetta e da can cellarla lui stesso. Cosi il grado di << amicizia » con Luigi Dallapiccola lo si poteva misurare dal progressivo sfogliarsi - nell'incontro - della sua corazza « intellettua listica »: quindi dalla possibilità - sorprendente da principio - di verifì• carne l'esiguità e infine l'estraneità sostanziale al suo essere, alla sua per sona, alla qualità stessa della sua vera cultura: rigorosa ma emotiva e fantastica se mai altra. Senza averlo mai sentito scendere nella futilità, l'ho però sentito parteci pare del quotidiano- suo e altrui- con vivacità e, nel caso, con apprensione. Ma anche a restar fuori dal quotidiano, anche al livello della sua cultura di compositore, c'è da dire come egli ti desse di continuo la possibilità di smantellare la scolasticità di quei temi obbligati che sul suo conto sono sempre corsi, per chi avesse a scrivere o a parlare di lui: l'umanesimo di L.D.; la religiosità di L.D.; cronaca e storia in L.D. -
A Singer's Guide to Performing Two Baroque Cantatas: Barbara
A Singer’s Guide to Performing Two Baroque Cantatas: Barbara Strozzi’s L’Astratto, Op. 8, No. 4, and Elisabeth-Claude Jacquet de La Guerre’s Le Sommeil d’Ulisse A document submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Performance Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music May 2012 by Youngmi Kim BM, Ewha Womans University, 2000 MM, University of Cincinnati, 2003 Committee Chair: bruce d. mcclung, PhD ABSTRACT The secular cantata was one of the most popular genres in vocal chamber music during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Similar to opera in its musical style and dramatic narrative, the Baroque cantata developed in Italy during the seventeenth century, changing from a multi-sectional movement with quick alternations between recitative, arioso, and aria to a multi-movement piece with several pairs of recitatives and da capo arias by the 1680s. This study is a performer’s guide to Barbara Strozzi’s L’Astratto (1664), Op. 8, No. 4 and Elizabeth-Claude Jacquet de La Guerre’s Le Sommeil d’Ulisse (1715). A comparison of two cantatas by women composers, one from mid-seventeenth-century Italy and the other from early eighteenth century France, allows for a study of different forms, singing styles, ornamentation, instrumentation, and the relationship between text and music in the genre’s development over a half-century. This document aids singers in programming this genre and discovering the music of two of the cantata’s most gifted composers. -

In this document, I discuss both composers’ multi-style blend (neo-Baroque/Serialism for Dallapiccola and neo-Baroque/Nationalism for Villa-Lobos) side by side through a close examination of their biographical background and stages of evolution, followed by a theoretical analysis of these two representative works. -
Il Prigoniero Van Luigi Dallapiccola
© 2009 Mathilde Mayer : Il prigoniero van Luigi Dallapiccola Il prigoniero van Luigi Dallapiccola door Harry Mayer Tijdens het komende Holland-Festival zal de opera Il prigioniero (De gevangene) van Luigi Dallapiccola worden opgevoerd. Deze in de jaren 1944 tot 1948 ontstane één- acter herinnert, wat het tekstgegeven betreft, aan een enige jaren ouder werk van dezelfde toondichter: de Canti de prigionia (liederen uit de gevangenschap). Beide composities werden gecreëerd vanuit een diepe humane bewogenheid over het lot van ter dood veroordeelde gevangenen. De Canti di prigionia waren laatste gebeden van Maria Stuart, van de Romeinse geleerde en magistraat Boëthius en van Gerolamo Savonarola. In Il prigioniero is het een uit Vlaanderen afkomstig, niet met name genoemd slachtoffer van de hertog van Alva. De sfeer van het ene zowel als van het andere werk is tragisch, desolaat en in sommige momenten van een beklemmende dramatiek. Doch terwijl de Canti nog uitlopen op een berustend geloof in de overwinning van de geest, eindigt Il prigioniero in de somberst denkbare desillusie en wanhoop. Dallapiccola verdeelde zijn drama in een proloog, twee koorintermezzi en vier tonelen. In de proloog horen wij de klacht van de moeder van de gevangene op één der twaalftoonsreeksen, waaruit de componist het rijk gelede klankenweefsel heeft opgebouwd. Heel eigenaardig is het dat in Dallapiccola’s dodecafoniek de reeksen méér zijn dan alleen maar grondstoffen voor melodieën en harmonieën. Iedere reeks is bij deze componist verbonden met een bepaalde uitdrukkingswaarde; in dit opzicht kan men haar betekenis enigszins vergelijken met die van een grondthema uit een muziekdrama van Wagner. Trouwens, ook het gebruik van meer dan één reeks in een zelfde werk is wel heel afwijkend van de normale praktijken der Oostenrijkse twaalftoonsmeesters, die hele opera’s op slechts één reeks componeerden. -

The journey of researching on Claudio Monteverdi that culminated in this final thesis was a long process that involved the extreme scrutiny, patience, attentive feedback, and endless hours of revisions from some of these people.
